AF-Setting Guidebook
The newly-designed 65-point AF and
versatile AF area selection mode
makes it possible to accurately focus
on quick-moving subjects.
This model is equipped with
the same AF Configuration
Tool as the EOS-1D X, making
the optimum AI Servo AF
settings possible to match
the movement characteristics
of the subject.
The 65-point AF that covers a wide range of areas,
and setting functions that maximize its ability, makes it
possible to capture definitive moments.
The newly-developed 65-point cross-type AF* is
included on the EOS 7D Mark II. By covering a wide
area of the screen with 65 AF points, it is easier to
focus on your desired area. The addition of Large
Zone AF makes 7 different AF area selection modes
available, and when these are used, the multi-point
AF system can be utilized to match the qualities of
the subject, such as any single point for focusing on
a still subject, or a specified zone (surface) for
subjects with intense movement. This model is now
equipped with the AF area selection lever for even
easier switching between modes.
The AI Servo AF (movement AF) on the EOS 7D Mark II uses the
same AI Servo AF III algorithm as on the EOS-1D X. This feature
makes flexible, high-precision focusing possible to match subject
movement. The AF Configuration Tool is what makes it possible
to customize the properties of AI Servo AF and optimize focusing
to fit the subject and shooting situation. When using this
function simply choosing from the 6 presets from Case 1 to 6
allowed for customization of parameters such as tracking
sensitivity. This guidebook describes how to take advantage of
these AF features.
* Number of available AF points, cross-type points, and Dual cross-type points vary depending on the lens.
